Connecting Funambol to MySQL on remote host - mysql

I am setting up Funambol 8.7 on a Linux host (using Amazon AWS). I need to connect to a MySQL datbase that is hosted on a different server.
Per the administration guide I went ahead and downloaded the mysql connector and placed the jar in /opt/Funambol/tools/jre-1.6.0/lib/ext. I changed the install.properties file as follows:
dbms=mysql
jdbc.classpath=/opt/Funambol/tools/jre-1.6.0/jre/lib/ext/mysql-connector-java-5.1.14-bin.jar
jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://myserver.net/rugcutte_funambol?characterEncoding=UTF-8
jdbc.user=rugcutte_funambo
jdbc.password=funambol
THen I try to run the install, but get the following error:
/opt/Funambol/ds-server/install/install.xml:452: java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'rugcutte_funambo'#'ec2-50-16-233-200.compute-1.amazonaws.com' (using password: YES)
It appears my AWS instance can connect successfully to my MySQL database however it is trying to login with a fully qualified user name that is incorrect: rugcutte_funambo'#'ec2-50-16-233-200.compute-1.amazonaws.com
I tried also to change the line to : jdbc.user=rugcutte_funambo#myserver.net . But I got a similar error with that as well.
I am relatively inexperienced to JDBC. What is the proper way to set up this section of the install.properties file?

Did you enable access to that database with that user from that server?
What happens if you try and just make the same mysql connection from the command line from your Funambol server?

Thanks Adam.
You led me to the correct answer. The remote host has an area in cPanel to configure Remote Database Access Hosts. So I did, need to add my source host that is running Funambol, to my list of access hosts.
After this I ran the install and it did, appear to create the tables properly in the database running on my remote host.

Spring cloud dataflow not connecting to MySQL DB

I am trying to run my spring-dataflow-server-local with MySQL DB. But it says,
" java.sql.SQLInvalidAuthorizationSpecException: Access denied for user ''#'localhost' (using password: NO) "
I am running on my Windows Machine.
I used the same user name and password to connect to the same mysql from MySQL Workbench successfully.
I am running the dataflow server with the following command.
java -jar spring-cloud-dataflow-server-local-1.7.4.RELEASE.jar --spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/task_db --spring.datasource.username=username --spring.datasource.password=password --spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver
Please help me on how to fix this? anyone faced similar issues?
I have tested that the data flow server starts successfully using
Windows 10
MySQL 8.0.15
Java 1.8.0_66
With the same command line that you show. I used jdbc:mysql:localhost:3306/task_db and created the task_db schema before running the data flow server in the workbench.
When installing MySQL 8.0.15 there was an option for 'enhanced login security' or 'classic' security. I picked 'classic'.
Would need to know more of how your MySQL is set up.
To isolate things, try going through the getting started guide - there is a 'completed' folder you can just run - https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-mysql/ and see if you have any connection issues.

Amazon EC2 Tomcat7 instance unable to access MySQL db on same system

I think I've seen a variety of similar posts on this topic, but am still unable to resolve my issue, so I figured I'd post with my specifics.
I have an Amazon AWS Linux EC2 instance running Tomcat7 web server. On the same machine I am also running a MySQL5 server, but I am unable to get the Tomcat app to talk to the MySQL database.
My Java app on tomcat tries to connect to MySQL by reading from a properties file:
jdbc.mysql.host.path=jdbc:mysql://localhost/
jdbc.mysql.schema=prod
jdbc.mysql.username=root
jdbc.mysql.password=<password>
I am accessing the app from another system via web browser, but when the app tries to connect to the database I get the following error in catalina.out:
java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
I'm pretty sure the issue has to do with permissions and communication between Tomcat and MySQL, because I've written a simple java program utilizing the same code to read the same properties file, and the connection is made successfully.
Here are some things I have attempted to remedy the issue:
change the owner of the properties file (currently owned by 'Tomcat')
ensured that user 'root' has been granted all privileges in MySQL
ensured that port 3306 (MySQL default port) is accessible by my test server
updated iptables made various modifications to /etc/my.cnf file
(tried to bind ip, but that didn't work)
I have a hunch that the issue may be related to the fact that I am trying to access the MySQL database using user 'root'. Even though I'm accessing it via localhost, the system may not support this because MySQL treats this as access from a separate host and (maybe?) root access from other hosts isn't allowed?
Any suggestions on things to try would be greatly appreciated...
I believe the issue was a combination of things.
Here are some items to consider that ultimately fixed it for me:
- making sure you were accessing the correct app via browser (I was using ROOT app, but trying to connect to another one)
- making sure a user exists in MySQL using 'Create User ....'
- making sure all privileges are granted on the database in question, for some reason granting all privileges on . wasn't working for me

Connection failed in using mysqlconnector ODBC to connect from sql to access

I am trying to connect mysql database in phpmyadmin to the access file. I am using mysqlconnector ODBC for that. Tutorial I am following is this
The problem is that when I give the credentials to connect to database, it gives me error as shown in this snapshot
I have tried hard to search on internet but failed. What mistake I am doing. I am putting the ftp information of the server there. Is there any database credentials i need to put?
You can't use the FTP credentials to connect the MySQL database. You have to use the database credentials. Make sure you have done followings before connecting.
Make sure MySQL server is up and running on the HOST IP and PORT.
Your MySQL server can accept connections from your IP or use % for
all IPS
Make sure you have a valid USER account
EDIT
Or tell us where(local server, internet, IP) the MySQL database is installed. The port number the server is listening on. How you access MySQL server normally.

Connect to database using Workbench

I have a database on my server and I want to connect to it through MySql Workbench, I entered my HostName, Username, Password, When I click Test Connection I get this Error Message:
Failed to Connect to MYSQL at **.**.***.**:3306 with user root.
Host '**.171.199.66' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
I am 100% sure my Hostname, username and Password are correct, I did some research and from what I managed to find out that I have to actually permit an access from my IP address to the database before I can connect.....if this is correct could someone explain to me how to give myself e permission to connect to my database on server.
It is likely that your MySql root account is configured to not accept remote root logins (its a default). If you are trying to connect from anywhere but localhost its not going to allow it. Your're right you need to permit access for your IP. You need to do it from within the server your MySql is installed on. In case of if you have managed hosting, your hosting company should provide you with a tool like phpMyAdmin or such, to manage your MySql. If it is your own installation, you can connect to mysql server instance from the console and go from there.
Check out another stackoverflow post:
Here is what you should be looking for in phpMyAdmin:
Keep in mind it might look a bit different depending on the phpMyAdmin Version.

Jasperserver installation unable to access database

I am trying to install jasperserver(war) in a CentOS linux machine. It throws up error saying,
Message: [Access denied for user 'jasperdb'#'xx.xx.xx.xx' to database 'mysql']
However, when I access mysql via command prompt it works fine. I am able to access via the user jasperdb from same machine where I am trying to install jasperserver.
It is also weird why jasperserver tries to access the database with name 'mysql'? Any solutions?
The mysql database within mysql is the one where user info is stored. That is why it is trying to access the mysql database. I am assuming you have 'jasperdb'#'localhost' in your mysql.user table. Try making sure that localhost and any other computer names are in your /etc/hosts filled in for 127.0.0.1.
If you are not using the ".war file" installer, I recommend using that. It's a lot easier to troubleshoot than the installer that bundles in Tomcat and PostgreSQL.
If you are using that, then you should find the credentials that you have set in default_master.properties. That includes both the user name and the database name. Run ant clean-config to make sure you aren't picking up any old settings.
